7 The Korean Conflict from The Idiot s Guide To World Conflicts Korea was ruled/ dominated by the Japanese before WWII. Once Japan lost in WWII, the Russians controlled the part of Korea north of the 38 th parallel and the United States controlled the area south of the 38 th parallel. At the time, North and South Korea were economically, agriculturally interdependent. In 1948, two countries- North Korea (communist in the Soviet mold- no free elections, private property and few consumer goods) and South Korea (capitalist) were created. North Korea was determined to conquer South Korea and make it communist. On June 25 th, 1950, North Korea attacked South Korea. The U.S. quickly decided to send troops to support South Korea. The U.N. also sent troops. China was afraid of Western aggression past North Korea and sent 850,000 Chinese troops. The war ended in a stalemate- no victor. The dividing line is known as the Demilitarized Zone or DMZ. Several incidents in in the 1960 s and 70 s showed the great tension between the 2 sides. Recently, however, a thawing or lessening of tensions is happening between North and South Korea. North Korea no longer has the support of the Soviet Union and its poor economic conditions. In 2001, North and South Korea signed an Agreement on Reconciliation which stated that they would both not test or manufacture nuclear weapons. North Korea then refused to allow weapons inspectors to check their nuclear weapons. After strong pressure from the West, the North Korean leader Kim il-sung agreed to freeze its nuclear program. In 2000, the 2 leaders- Kim Dae-jung from South Korea and Kim Jong-il met and allowed visitation between 100 South Koreans visiting family members in North Korea. After September 11, George W. Bush called North Korea a part of an axis of evil. North Korea has experienced great famine and death of its people. Kim Jong-il continues to threaten the use of nuclear weapons. Some feel he is willing to use them, while others believe he is making the threat to win economic support in exchange for his limiting the nuclear program.
